50 Cent Claims He Turned Down Half a Million to Aid Trump Win the Black Vote

Rapper 50 Cent is claiming President Trump offered him $500,000 to help him win the black vote during the 2016 election.

50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, was discussing the Trump administration during an appearance on the radio station Hot 97 when he mentioned the alleged offer, The Hill reported.

Jackson said the request came when the Trump campaign was “having issues with the African-American vote.”

“They wanted to pay me $500,000 as part of the campaign just to make an appearance,” he revealed. “I was like, ‘Nah, that’s not good money. That’s not worth it.’”

In 2016, Trump won just 8 percent of the black vote – the lowest amount of support from minority voters for a winning candidate in 40 years, according to Reuters.

As for Trump’s rise to the White House, Jackson told the radio hosts that he sees the billionaire’s presidency as “an accident.”

“If you were president by accident,” he explained, “you might do some of the things Donald Trump is doing.”

Jackson, who said during a Monday appearance on “The View” that the U.S. has “gotta get rid of” Trump, admitted it will be difficult for him not to take shots at the president on his new Comedy Central show, “50 Central.”
